about

The William Loveday Intention is one of the current incarnations of the British musician, novelist, painter, poet, and troublemaker Billy Childish. (He is also active in The Guy Hamper Trio, CTMF, The Chatham Singers, and Thee Headcoats.) Few figures in the history of British song-and-dance men have created a body of work as bold and unique as Billy Childish, and practically none have been as prolific. Between his many projects, Childish has released over 170 albums (including 13 recorded in one year during the global pandemic) and even more singles since 1977, all dominated by the passionate, reedy bark of his vocals, the dirty, Link Wray-inspired roar of his guitar work, and a lyrical perspective that's a crazy quilt of deeply personal self-expression, pastiches of pop culture, pointed observations on the world around him, and tunes about good (and bad) times with the opposite sex. Artists as diverse as Mudhoney and Kylie Minogue have cited Childish as an influence, and he's built an international following despite stubbornly avoiding major record labels and following his own path.

Billy says “Fire in the Mountains” “is the true story of meeting up with my wife-to-be when she drove down from Seattle to meet me in the Ventana Wilderness of California in the summer of 1999. I was on a vision quest and there were fires in the hills, etc. Her directions were to meet me on such-and-such a date by a rusty water tower 20 miles down a desert road, where I stood playing an Indian flute. So, in all that is written within the song, if absorbed by the ears, truth will be revealed.”

Coriky

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

My Other People
by TV Priest

supported by 4 fans who also own “Fire in the Mountains”

Uppers was brilliant and so is My Other People in it's different, yet distinctly TV Priest mode. It is to me a lament on a society in inevitable decline, a reckoning over what has been lost and what may yet be saved. And there's always one or two tunes that go straight to my soul and connect to my pain, desperation, hope and anger. It was beautiful... grUEnfront

Lifesize

J'essaye de m'éloigner du style de vie que l'on veut nous imposer avec le néo-libéralisme. Karl Marx se retournerait dans sa tombe s'il savait ce que nous avons fait de notre société. Bref, il le constatait déjà autrefois que c'était mal parti! Faisons la lumière sur ça...Aidons nos proches à retrouver la lumière. Aidez les humains à redevenir des humains. Lavinie Cloutier
